Church of the Third Order of the Holy Trinity

Salvador, Brazil · built 1739

The Church of the Third Order of the Holy Trinity (Igreja da Ordem Terceira da Santíssima Trindade) is an abandoned Roman Catholic church located in Salvador, capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia. First built as a chapel in 1733 and later expanded into its current structure in 1739, the church was abandoned by the Archdiocese of São Salvador in 1990. Located in the decadent Água de Meninos neighbourhood, the church was abandoned for a whole decade until it was reclaimed by a group of homeless people known as the Trinity community in 2000.
